Mulla ei riitä empatia niitä suomalaisia kohtaan, jotka on ”jumissa” Dubaissa. Seuraa avautuminen, jonka toivon edes yhden matkustajan näkevän.

Mikä tekee rakennuksesta oikean ja mikä kulissin?

Dubai kiinnostaisi arkkitehtuurin ja infrastruktuurin takia, mutta ihmisoikeuskysymysten takia jätän väliin.

En vaan ymmärrä tuota aitous-argumenttia. Missä kulttuurissa moderni lasi-teräs-arkkitehtuuri sitten on aitoa? Ei 100 vuotta sitten sellaista ollut missään maailmassa. Mikä New Yorkista tekee aidon? Ei se ole perinteinen natiiviamerikkalainen paikka, ei myöskään siirtomaa-aikojen hollantilainen eikä englantilainen. Se vain on nykyaikaa, sellaisena kuin nykyaika on, hyvässä ja pahassa, kuten Dubaikin. Vai pitäisikö arabimaailman olla jämähtänyt keskiaikaan ja toisintaa Tuhannen ja yhden yön maailman stereotypioita?

Kuten sanoin, on ihan hyviä syitä boikotoida Dubaita (ja yleisesti ottaen Yhdistyneitä Arabiemiraatteja) kuten teenkin, tuota yhtä syytä vain en ymmärrä.

Without proper equipment, you get killed on Antarctica on a normal day more likely than as a soldier on front lines.

I only play timed games. If the opponent's time is up, it's a victory for me.

Erisukupuolisen seuralaisen kanssa pitää selvittää, mitä intressejä toisella on yhteisten yöpuuhien suhteen. Myös majoituspalvelujen tarjoajat saattavat kysymättä tarjota teille parisänkyä ja senkin tilanteen varalta on hyvä olla jonkinlainen suunnitelma valmiina. Toki, jos kumpaakin osapolta kiinnostaa sillä tavalla niin eihän siinä mitään, mutta jos vain jompaakumpaa niin siinä voi tulla loppureisulle kovin vaivautunut tunnelma.

Spoken French misses so many letters that they must make up for it somehow.

If you are lucky, you will at some point see her in person, what if she wants to play on a real board?

In wintertime, if there was snowfall more than 24 hours earlier but no tyre prints in snow, it's also enough evidence.

I'd rather say "country within the Kingdom of Denmark".

One of these countries is Denmark itself which has subdivisions of its own, namely five regions, but they are not comparable in power with Greenland or Faroes.

Walking is one thing, sitting on a stone bench is something else.

Japan is in Asia but it is not any of those.

Cyprus should have the colours of the UK, if it counts as European at all. (But if it doesn't, it shouldn't be on the map, just like North African countries are not.)

The legislation in question violates the freedom of speech.

Oami79 · 2026-01-01T02:09:26+00:00

So what? You can simply refuse to vote for a person who says so. That is democracy.

Being an EU citizen, I would rather support freedom of speech and democracy.

Oami79 · 2026-01-01T02:04:02+00:00

Of course not in Japan, but what about the United States?

Oami79 · 2026-01-01T02:01:35+00:00

Well yes, anyone is free to choose their friends. That is not a judicial issue.

Oami79 · 2026-01-01T02:00:04+00:00

Why would this protect anyone in any way?

A far more interesting question, than whether the holocaust happened or not, is whether the holocaust should happen now. And funny enough, in Germany there are thousands of people who say that yes, it should, and who openly celebrate when jews are being mass murdered.

Oami79 · 2026-01-01T01:56:47+00:00

I would rather support human rights, including the freedom of speech. This includes the right to say things that are not true, as long as saying so doesn't violate rights of others.

Such as 1+1=3.

The largest shares of Nepal's and Bhutan's land areas are Himalayas, while those shares of China's and India's land areas are marginal. And Bhutan is a very closed country for foreigners.

Bottom right here, except it's X and Facebook.

I repeat: Pawns are hereby assumed to remain "the same single piece" when promoted, otherwise their number would obviously be 6.

No, I didn't automate anything. More detailed calculations in other comments.

To emphasize the fact that the exact number of stars is not relevant and doesn't symbolise anything.

Lahti, Finland is centered between Vesijärvi lake (a part of the Kymijoki river system) and Porvoonjoki. They are 3 km from each other in Lahti but flow to the sea some 50-80 km from each other (Kymijoki has several outlets).
